From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050323 Fedora/1.7.6-1.3.2 Description of problem: After building a custom Python RPM, the daily prelink run segfaulted when prelinking /usr/lib/debug/usr/bin/python.debug. It's nothing critical, since the python.debug file is probably broken anyway, but prelink should print a warning message and continue instead. I wrote a quick patch which just silently ignores it, will attach that. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): prelink-0.3.3, prelink-0.3.4 from devel too How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a corrupted ELF file (will attach one) 2. run 'prelink /path/to/file' or 'prelink -a' Actual Results: Segmentation fault (core dumped) Expected Results: "File %s is corrupted, not prelinking" or something like that. Additional info: Only special configuration is that debug file I'll attach, everything else is a normal FC3 install.
Created attachment 113483 [details] patch avoiding the segfault This just avoids the segfault, ideally read_dynamic() should return int indicating success/error.
Created attachment 113484 [details] file causing the segfault Don't know why I got such a file after building my Python RPM, it looks like an ELF, but it crashes prelink :-( PS: Sorry for the looong line in the bugreport, didn't realize bugzilla doesn't break lines for me.
